1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has disappeared and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. A low - buy and high - sell range strategy is maintained, but it's advisable to wait and see for now to verify OPEC's export price - support intention through a decline in exports when prices fall [3]. - For methanol, high port inventories are suppressing prices. Overseas production remains high, and the supply pressure persists while demand is weak. It's expected that inventories will be hard to reduce in the short term, and prices may decline further. Given the current significant and rapid drop, it's recommended to wait and see [6]. - For urea, the market is sensitive to positive news due to large internal - external price differences and low domestic prices. Domestic demand lacks support, and supply is high. New export policies have improved the market atmosphere, and inventories are being reduced. It's expected that the downside space is limited, and the market will mainly bottom out through oscillations [9]. - For natural rubber, a short - term long - bias trading strategy is recommended, and a partial position can be established for the hedge of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609 [12]. - For PVC, the fundamental situation is poor. Supply is strong, demand is weak, and export expectations are turning negative. There is a continuous inventory build - up pressure. It's advisable to consider short - selling on rallies in the medium term [14]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the BZN spread has room for upward correction. The supply of pure benzene is relatively abundant, and the production of styrene is increasing. Styrene port inventories are decreasing significantly, and prices may stop falling in stages [17]. - For polyethylene, the crude oil price may have bottomed out, and the downward valuation space of PE is limited. However, a high number of warehouse receipts is suppressing the market. Overall inventories are being reduced from a high level, and prices may remain in a low - level oscillation [20]. - For polypropylene, the cost - end supply surplus may expand. Supply pressure is high, and demand is weak. Overall inventory pressure is high, and the market may be supported when the supply - surplus situation at the cost end changes in the first quarter of 2026 [23]. - For PX, it's expected to have a slight inventory build - up in November, but there is support from aromatics blending for gasoline and the long - term supply - demand structure. There are opportunities for valuation to rise in the medium term [26]. - For PTA, there will be continuous inventory build - up in November due to new device launches, and processing fees will be under pressure. The polyester load is unlikely to increase significantly. There are opportunities for PTA to strengthen driven by an increase in PXN in the medium term [28][29]. - For ethylene glycol, there will be continuous inventory build - up in the fourth quarter. Valuation is relatively low and may be further compressed. It's recommended to short - sell on rallies [31]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet expanding, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. A range - trading strategy of buying low and selling high is maintained, but the current oil prices need to test OPEC's export price - support willingness, and short - term wait - and - see is recommended [3]. - For methanol, high port inventories suppress prices. Overseas开工 remains high, arrivals are at a high level, and port inventories are rising. Coal prices are strong, squeezing enterprise profits and causing a slight decline in enterprise开工. Demand is weak overall, and there is a risk of price decline, so it is recommended to wait and see [6]. - For urea, the market is sensitive to bullish news. Domestic demand lacks support, and supply is high. New export policies improve the market atmosphere, and inventories are being depleted at a high level. The downside space is relatively limited, and it is expected to bottom out through oscillations [9]. - For rubber, a neutral approach is adopted, and short - term trading with quick entry and exit is recommended. A partial position can be established for the hedging strategy of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609 [13]. - For PVC, the enterprise's comprehensive profit is at a low level, but supply is high, and new devices are about to be put into operation. Demand is under pressure, and export prospects are poor. There is a risk of inventory accumulation, and short - term valuation is low. A short - selling strategy on rallies can be considered in the medium term [15]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the BZN spread has room for upward repair. Port inventories are being depleted, and styrene prices may stop falling in the short term [18]. - For polyethylene, OPEC +'s plan to suspend production growth may lead to a bottoming of crude oil prices. Polyethylene's valuation has limited downward space, but high - level warehouse receipts suppress the market. Supply is limited, and demand is picking up seasonally. Prices are expected to oscillate at a low level [21]. - For polypropylene, the cost side sees a potential increase in global oil inventories, and supply pressure is high. Demand is picking up slightly, and overall inventories are high. There is no prominent short - term contradiction, and prices may be supported in Q1 2026 [24]. - For PX, it is expected to see a slight inventory build - up in November, but there is support from aromatics blending into gasoline and the long - term supply - demand structure. Pay attention to the opportunity of mid - term valuation increase [27]. - For PTA, supply is expected to increase with new device launches, and inventories are expected to accumulate in November. Demand is expected to remain high but has limited room for improvement. Pay attention to the opportunity of PTA strengthening driven by the mid - term increase in PXN [30]. - For ethylene glycol, domestic supply is high, imports are increasing, and inventories are expected to accumulate in Q4.

Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the text regarding the report industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has completely dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term excessive bearishness on oil prices is not advisable. A low - buy and high - sell range strategy is maintained, but currently, it is recommended to wait and see to verify OPEC's export price - support intention when oil prices fall [2]. - For methanol, high port inventories are suppressing prices.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, it's not advisable to be overly bearish on oil prices in the short - term. A range - trading strategy of buying low and selling high is maintained, but the current prices need to test OPEC's willingness to support prices through exports, so short - term waiting is recommended [3]. - For methanol, domestic production has increased, imports have risen, supply pressure has intensified, while demand has weakened. The high - inventory issue on the 01 contract will increasingly suppress spot prices. With no substantial short - term positive news from overseas supply, there may be further declines. However, the cost - effectiveness of short - selling after the sharp decline is low, and there is no clear driving force for long - positions, so waiting is advised [6]. - For urea, prices are consolidating at a low level with low volatility. The fundamentals lack a driving force. Supply has increased, demand is weak, and the supply - demand situation is relatively loose. Although the upside is limited, the downside is also restricted at these low prices, so waiting is recommended [9]. - For rubber, prices rebounded as expected. It's recommended to set a stop - loss and conduct short - term long - trades on pullbacks. A partial position for the hedging strategy of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609 is recommended [15]. - For PVC, the comprehensive profit of enterprises is at a low level this year, and valuation pressure is low in the short - term. However, supply is high, new devices are about to be commissioned, demand is weak, and exports are expected to decline, so there is a risk of continuous inventory accumulation. It's recommended to pay attention to short - selling opportunities in the medium - term [17]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the BZN spread is at a low level and has room for upward repair. The supply of pure benzene is relatively abundant, and the port inventory of styrene is decreasing significantly. Styrene prices may stop falling in the short - term [20]. - For polyethylene, OPEC+ plans to suspend production growth in Q1 2026, and the price of crude oil may have bottomed out. Although the downward space for PE valuation is limited, high - level warehouse receipts suppress the market. With the arrival of the seasonal peak season, demand may pick up, and prices are expected to fluctuate at a low level [23]. - For polypropylene, although the cost side indicates a potential increase in supply surplus, the downstream start - up rate has rebounded seasonally. With high inventory pressure and high - level warehouse receipts, the market may be supported when the supply - surplus situation on the cost side changes in Q1 next year [26]. - For PX, the current load is high, downstream PTA maintenance is frequent, and PTA processing fees are under pressure. It's expected to see a slight inventory increase in November, but it will be supported by aromatics blending and future supply - demand structure. It mainly follows crude oil fluctuations, and there may be opportunities for valuation increase in the medium - term [29]. - For PTA, supply is expected to increase due to new device commissioning and maintenance, and inventory is expected to accumulate in November. Although polyester demand may remain high, the upside is limited. Pay attention to the opportunity for PTA to strengthen driven by the increase in PXN in the medium - term [32]. - For ethylene glycol, domestic and overseas device loads are high, imports are increasing, and ports are starting to accumulate inventory. It's expected to see continuous inventory accumulation in Q4, and it's recommended to short - sell on rallies [34].
